## What it is
Pixel Art to CSS is a web-based pixel art drawing and animation editor built with React and Redux. It generates ready-to-use CSS code from box-shadow and keyframes properties, and can export work as static images, animated GIFs, or sprite sheets.

## Use cases
- create pixel art animations in the browser
- generate css code for pixel art sprites
- draw pixel art online for free
- export pixel art as animated gif or sprite sheet
- animate game sprites without image files
- make css-only pixel art animations

## When to choose
- you want pixel art rendered purely with CSS instead of image assets
- you need a free browser-based pixel art editor with animation support
- you want to export sprites or GIFs from a simple drawing tool

## When to avoid
- you need professional pixel art features like layers, onion skinning, or tile maps
- you need a native desktop pixel art application
- you want to edit existing raster images rather than draw from scratch

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: image-processing, animation, ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, graphics, web-design
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: pixel-art, css-generator, drawing-tool, animation-editor, react, redux, sprite, gif-export, game-development, web-server, nodejs
